Which step is the final step in the proposed MTM model?

• A. Documentation and follow up
• B. Medication therapy review
• C. Intervention and referral
• D. Personal med record

Answer: (A)

In this MTM process, the last step is documenting what was done and arranging follow-up to check outcomes. After completing the medication therapy review, creating the personal medication record, and identifying and addressing any medication-related problems through intervention or referral, the actions taken are recorded in the patient’s chart or MTM documentation. This documentation communicates findings, plans, and changes to all providers and the patient, and sets up ongoing monitoring to ensure improvements, adherence, and safety. Without follow-up, it’s easy to miss whether interventions worked or need adjustment. The other steps happen earlier in the cycle, but finalizing care with clear documentation and a plan to reassess keeps care coordinated and effective.
